It doesn't matter who is footing the bill. It is crazy for any entity to invest any money under those circumstances. The solution to one chunk of the government running mad and then handing lots of money to some other chunk of the government to try to chase after them would... uh... probably produce a world fairly similar to what we live in, actually. Which isn't a solution. Regardless, constantly changing the goal posts with no significant costs to the ones doing the changing is a problem for any funding mechanism.
